This class is perfect for students, parents, and teachers who are new to academic debate. National champion Coach Griffith Vertican will teach you the art of mastering competitive academic debate which includes: the three pillars of debate, how to make a scientific argument, how to find better evidence, 4 responses to any argument, 4-point refutation, intro to cross-examination, how to be a more dynamic communicator, and how to give a fantastic game-changing rebuttal.

By the end of the semester, students, parents, and teachers will have gained the knowledge and skills to do their own competitive debate, and/or be proficient to run their own debate class/club. This course includes plenty of activities and the opportunity to do an actual debate.

Note: If the class receives low registration this class may be cancelled or changed. In the event that it is cancelled you will be fully refunded.

* Class is an hour long. However, Coach Griffith often graciously offers additional time to work with students who need to work on cases, speeches, and arguments - often 15-30 minutes extra, especially on weeks when they’re doing practices.
